last tue, we went to desaru (msia) for a 1 day trip.. wish it was longer tho'. so boring at home.. woke up early to meet the coach driver at 7.30am in front of our condo. my cousin and uncle joined us. so there were 8 of us in the small coach bus.

we had bfast as soon as we reached msia. then headed to our first destination - Desaru Fruit Farm.

this is breadfruit. the guide told us that it tastes flat when eaten on its own, just like bread. mostly eaten with curry..

dragonfruit



soursop

there was aso the herbal garden..

the man plucked the leaves for us to smell. this is amanda just acting stupid.. haha!

with jude following suit.. wahahahah!


i fell in love with this flower. saw this in perth too. rem my photos back then?

inside the herbal garden, there was a pond of kois!!! so many oh.. the guide got some fish food to feed them and they were jumping around crazily. got us wet!



banana tree..

another type of banana. this one more curvy than the other..

yellow ginger

guess wad this is? LAKSA LEAVES!! argh! so nice smell.. so tempting..

bee house.. oh they got a bee farm aso.. they let us try a bit of their honey.. natural de..

after that, we were led to an animal farm. got goats, chickens, monkeys, rabbits, alligator, tortoise peacorks, ostrichs!


the guide fed the monkey passionfruit juice.. haha..it can realli drink man.. got seeds inside aso~

the monkey being fed is pregnant. and gosh, it is fierce! it refuses to let the other monkey in the same cage to drink.
poor monkey.. =( it was chained and can oni move around on that round circle.


the rabbits, pigeons and rooster were stranded on a round table. only the rabbits were not chained cos they dare not jump down the table. haha!

we were allowed to feed the ostrich corn. but i was the oni BRAVE one to do it. HAHA! but my hand got shit after that. now i noe why they dare not feed. looks like im the stupid one.. =S
sharon holding the rabbit on its bum.
after the whole fruit farm visit, they gave us each a container packed with so much different fruits, some of it we saw during the tour..

nxt stop is another herbal garden. but we weren't interested, oni the adults were. the oni fun part is the fishy fishy biting ur feet. u noe those kind that eat the fungus on ur feet? yea.. again, i was the oni one who put my feet in. so sad nobody join me.. aiz..

we aso went to the ostrich farm. but it was pouring quite heavily. luckily there was shelter and the guide was able to speak to us. these are ostrichs 2 wks old!

according to the guide, an ostrich egg is so hard it can support anyone's weight! the oni exception is stepping on it with heels. marvellous eh? papa, are u meditating? hehe..

he aso said the ostrich cannot die if u cut off its head. so gross rite?! u must slowly use a knife to slice its neck and let it bleed to death.

we witnessed an ostrich mama giving birth to an egg. and at such an exact time too - 4pm! it always lays an egg at 4pm. the uncle said if the egg kana water, it'll die and u cant save it =(
my dad said if it didnt rain, we cld actually ride on the ostrich lea.. alamak! such a chance lost, to the STUPID RAIN! argh! ruined our whole day..

talk abt eating too much rich food! we had seafood for both lunch and dinner. oh my.. so sinful.. got crab, lobster, oyster, fish..

after dinner, we rode on a boat to see fireflies. there are alot of mangroves on the banks of the river and that's where all the fireflies love to hang around. it was so pretty~ my first time seeing fireflies. but sadly, we cldnt get close enuff to feel or see it.. =( tink it's because of the weather. it was rather windy and the water current was getting more stronger. the time we went there aso not the right time to see fireflies cos it was still a lil' bright. if oni it was darker - can see more.. once we finished, the uncle had quite a hard time trying to get us back on shore cos of the strong current. he tried a total of 4 times b4 we can get back on land!

we reached home at about 10 plus.. all exhausted.. but loved the trip =) let's do it again!
